Lindows' Heavy Hand Leads to Summit Dropouts

Posted by chrisd on from the michael-robertson-needs-charm-school dept.

shawk writes "With Lindows becoming more popular the company's confidence seems to be growing. According to a news item on Desktoplinux.com Lindows unilaterally adjusted the agenda of a planned vendor-neutral summit in a way that is not tolerable for others supporting the conference. A related article on CNET reports HP having withdrawn from the summit as well."

    The thing is, Red Hat cannot make a simple "anybody can walk up to this and know how to use it right away" product as a result of that business model. If everybody understood how to use RedHat straight out of the box, nobody would need to pay for training, certifications, or support. Red Hat Linux will always be complicated as a result.
